How to Use Your Driver?

What is the ultimate dream of any golfer? To hit a golf ball straight down the fairway every time. Unfortunately, not everybody is born like Tiger Woods and so driving a ball straight is often a challenging task. The driver is the hardest club to control because it is longer and this results in plenty of hooks and slices off the tee. However, here are some tips to help you control your drive and hit a golf ball straight down the fairway a lot more often. The key is to put this guide into action through taking the time for consistent practice. Rome wasn't built in a day and so to get the most out of these tips you should do the drills as often as possible.
If you focus on accuracy, and hitting the ball with a clean collection, distance will come. A big problem with golfers is that they try and put everything they can into a swing without first mastering the technique. If you can learn to control the club and master a relaxed and accurate swing you will begin to hit a golf ball straight much more consistently. To control the club, you should let it do most of the work. Use your muscles and strength to support the club. Think of your club as a whip, use the leverage to get a clean connection on the ball and therefore a cleaner and more straight drive.
Another key area you need to focus on to hit a golf ball straight is your stance and balance. When using a driver, you should put your golf ball near to your left foot. To hit the ball straight you need to bring your backswing straight back and straight down through the ball. A rushed backswing is another common problem and this can be improved by working on a relaxed and balanced lift using your muscles to control the club.
If you want to consistently hit a golf ball straight, you will need to have the correct grip and grip pressure. If you are right handed, you should make sure that the left hand applies the pressure and that your right hand is more relaxed and passive.
If you follow the tips above and practice often, it won't be long before your friends get jealous because you know how to hit a golf ball straight. Just remember to have a balanced and controlled swing and focus on giving the ball a clean connection.
